Hi all,

I was trying to split a string that
represent chinese characters below:

['\xc5\xeb\xc7\xd5\xbc']

But why the split function here doesn't seem
to do the job for obtaining the desired result:

['\xc5','\xeb','\xc7','\xd5','\xbc']

\xXX just internal representation of None ASCII, I guess above string
is encoded with local locale, maybe gbk. You can get the bytes list
through:

str = '\xc5\xeb\xc7\xd5\xbc'
list(str)

And string is just a list of characters.
